[2.4] How to smash Heads. Extremely detailed guide about the Facebreaker gloves and builds!

Thanks for the kind words words man ^^
I'm glad it's working out well for you :)

Do you have level 19 or level 20 reduced mana support gem and 4% reduced mana reservation from the skill tree ?

links to the calculator with my stats which clearly shows that it works just fine ^^

and yes it seems like it works with level 19 reduced mana aswell

tho i've "overkilled" this because i have level 21 reduced mana gem

P.S. Thanks for mentioning that calculator because i didn't know it existed and it works great! :)

First of all in many cases the unique items in Path of Exile are cheaper than rare items, and the rare items used with this build are indeed on the cheap site. I guess i have to explain that the idea of GGG is that unique items are not better than rare items , they just do "unique" things that rares can't do and thus enable good interactions with different builds. A unique is not the best for all builds but it is in many cases the best item for a certain build.
Second ... even my entire gear which is close to perfect for the build ... is worth less than a single shavronne's wrapping chest.
Now "cheap" means different things to any player. For some cheap is 10 chaos orb build for others it is 10 exalts.
I can see that you are a new player and i understand that you probably don't have a lot of currency. But when you look at a build don't look at what the creator has because obviously he would have the best possible (for him) and expensive gear. Look at what is the minimum price of the build and what is needed to make it work. You don't need fancy 6L ( or 5L in that matter), you don't need perfect rolled gear etc. Every builds starts from somewhere and as you level up and accumulate currency that build grows up with you.. gradually
With all that said if you are looking for a build which is worth 10 chaos orb and is capable of killing Uber Atziri i'm afraid that you'll end up very disappointed.

Now let us look at the build in my guide.

Let's start with this video that you've probably passed and haven't seen
Level 75 Plateau Map with crappy gear:


Let me say it again - this is with extremely crappy gear worth a total of 34 chaos orbs which is less than an exalt in standard atm! Anyone and i mean ANYONE who owns a level 75 map via a drop ( meaning that they've done lower level mapping to get there ) has that much currency.


Now let as look at a more reasonable build and what it's worth ( based on PoE.trade research )

Gloves
nerfed Facebreakers with around 750% roll
Cost - between 1 and 3 chaos orbs ( average 2 chaos orbs )

Shields
Lioneye's Remorse
Cost - between 2 and 4 chaos orbs ( average 3 chaos orbs )
Saffel's Frame
Cost - between 2 and 4 chaos orbs ( average 3 chaos orbs )

Belt
Meginord's Girdle
Cost - between 2 and 3 chaos orbs ( average 2.5 chaos orbs )

Helmet
Abyssus
Cost - Cost - between 2 and 4 chaos orbs ( average 3 chaos orbs )

Chest
5Linked Ccarcass Jack ( please note that even 4Linked chest is enough to carry you up to level 75 maps)
Cost - between 2 and 3 exalts ( average 2.5 exalts )

Boots
Rare Boots with nice life, some resists and movement speed
Cost - it's hard to say but i can see some good items starting from as low as 1 chaos orb up to 10 chaos orbs ... ( average 5 chaos orbs )

Rings
Rare rings with life, some resists and high flat physical damage
Cost - again it's hard to pinpoint an exact price becuase it is a rare(and not a unique) item but i can see nice rings for as low as 4 chaos orbs up to 20 chaos orbs ( multiplied by 2 because we are using 2 rings = average 24 chaos orbs )

Amulet
Rare amulet with life, some resists and high flat physical damage
Cost - the same deal as the rings ... and the prices are pretty much the same as i can see... between 4 and 20 chaos orbs ( average 12 chaos orbs )

Total cost
between 2ex; 22 chaos orbs and 2.5ex; 88 chaos orbs ( average 2,25 exalts and 55 chaos orbs )


Let me clear this out! For an average price around 3,5 exalts you end up with an end-game,atziri viable build! I can also tell you that if you can't afford 5L chest even 4L ( yes! even 4L ) can get you very far for a cost close to 1.5 ex.

Now let's be honest. I know that everyone wants to invest nothing and yet reach end-game. The truth is that simply by going throughout the game ( which is like a walk in the park ) starting with a small investment of 6 chaos orbs ( in order to buy the gloves, the belt and a crest of perandus shield ) when you physically reach end-game content you'll have enough currency to buy what is needed.
Don't tell me that you can't collect ~3 ex worth of orbs leveling from level 1 to level 80 (normal>cruel>merciless>low level maps) because i'd simply won't believe you.

It's just that the absolute currency minimum of this build is so ridiculously low that as long as you have the needed starting items ( facebreakers, meginord's girdle and crest of perandus with a total cost of 6 chaos orbs ) you'll breeze through the main content.

Oh.. you didn't annoy or upset me in any way and i apologize if i sounded like that in my response! (most likely the reason for that is based on recent real life events) :)
It is of course a perfectly normal to ask if something is unclear to you... after all it's a huge guide with tons of information ( not to mention the endless pages of comments, questions, answers and debates ) and it's easy to miss out something.
Also indeed many guides claim things that are not true in some cases so being skeptical is indeed a good and healthy thing.

I've always said that i'm here to help and answer any and all questions (if i can) and i really hope that i'm able to live up to that claim. I know that it can sound strange but i sincerely enjoy helping others and i try to do it as often as i can.

So in conclusion i want to say ... as always feel free to ask ... and as always i'll be happy to help ^^

Thanks for noticing and pointing it out! It's fixed now :)
